T.O. OK with break

OXNARD, Calif. – Terrell Owens, one of the Cowboys’ hardest working guys in practice, says he’s OK with the time off given to him by coach Wade Phillips.

Owens didn’t practice Sunday afternoon and this morning. He said he will return to practice this afternoon.

“I’m just doing what the coaches are telling me to do,” he said. “I feel fine. I feel good. My coaches in San Francisco used to call me a thoroughbred, a stallion. You can’t run (race horses) every day and then expect them to perform their best on race day.”
